Regarding Neil Gaiman

[wintersday]

Brief discussion of real life sexual violence

I don’t often post here, but it needs saying and so I’ll say it. I was a fan of Neil Gaiman for a long time. No longer. He has been accused of sexual assault and abuse. The outlet that broke the story is transphobic and I do not support their bigotry, but it is worth remembering that Gaiman himself is a cis man, and having read the accusations against him, including details that can be falsified in court such as the filing of a police report, I find the victims’ own stories credible and convincing. I fully believe that they are telling the truth.

Warning: it’s bad.
